ANNISTON, Alabama --- About 50 people showed up on Saturday for the Northeast Alabama Bicycle Association's "creative" attempt at getting an extra $30,000 for the Coldwater Mountain bike trail.

The association last week called for volunteers to turn up Saturday morning at the trail parking lot to film a "Harlem Shake" video. The video is part of a grant application to Bell Helmets.

If the grant is awarded, the money would be spent on improving the
trails. Earlier this month, the City of Anniston committed $450,000 to
the project.

Coldwater Mountain is a 4,000 acre tract of land where 60 miles of track are planned over the next five years.

Katy Cairo, the association's events coordinator, said the filming was a big success. "We had people who showed up who came all the way from Huntsville, some support from Gadsden," she said. "We've already had 3,000 views (of the video) so far, and it's only been a few days."

The association will work on other parts of the application process, which will include interviews, and another video, though a little more serious.
